The Central Government, State Governments and all the Government departments are working with full dedication in this direction. We are hopeful that this target will be achieved within the time limit. He said that the GST department is always ready to resolve any tax related cases or disputes of industries and traders so that traders and industries do not have to face any problem. There is also a full effort to resolve the complaints. For this, traders and entrepreneurs should keep in touch with the department and keep talking.
